# How do I use the Linq Badge?

#### How do I use the Linq Badge?\*

The **Linq Badge** is a wearable version of the Linq Card. It gives you the same digital business card experience, but in a format that’s easy to display on a **lanyard** at events.

### What the Linq Badge Can Do

- **NFC-embedded:**  
  Most modern smartphones can tap the badge to open your Linq page.
- **Built-in QR code:**  
  There’s a QR code printed on the front as a backup for phones that don’t support NFC.
- **Hands-free sharing at events:**  
  Perfect for:
  
    - Conventions
    - Trade shows
    - Large networking events  
      Just wear it visibly so people can tap or scan it as they meet you.
- **Brand-ready:**  
  You can order badges with your **company logo** to keep everything on-brand and professional.

### How to Use Your Linq Badge

1. **Activate and assign it to your page**
   
     - Make sure your badge has been **activated** and assigned to the correct Linq page in the Linq app (via **Products → Activate Product**, if not already done).
2. **Share via NFC (Tap)**
   
     - Ask someone with a compatible smartphone to:
       
           - Hold the **top/back** of their phone near the badge (location depends on the phone model).
     - Their device will open your **Linq page** automatically.
3. **Share via QR code (Scan)**
   
     - If their phone doesn’t support NFC, they can:
       
           - Open their **camera app** or QR scanner.
           - Point it at the **QR code** on your badge.
     - A link will appear that opens your **Linq page**.
       
       \***Note**: an active Linq One subscription is required to activate and use any digital business card.
